Reactionary conservatives are much more easily disgusted than progressive liberals.

Jokes on... Me?

Yeah, me.

Re: The New Joke Thread

A Russian man is watching the weather forecast on TV, and they say that it's -50°C in Siberia today...
In disbelief he calls his Siberian friend:

Hey, I've heard is super cold in Siberia these days?
Nah, it's nothing special, about -25°.
Yeah? On TV they've said it's -50° C!

Ah, this must be outside.



“Punchline Predictability, Comprehension Speed,and Joke Funniness: Investigating Incongruity Theories of Humour” ~ by Robert J. Fearman
“... Predictability of punchlines was found to be positively correlated with joke funniness, and the reaction time for comprehension of a joke was negatively correlated with funniness.
These findings suggest that previous theories may be incorrect, and a new cognitive conceptualization of joke processing may be needed.
A general outline for a new conceptualization of humour is presented ...”
